@ALL I was looking into PPF and ceramic/glass coatings for my White Sportage but I didn't went for any of these.

My car is insured and I think PPF could only be helpful for avoiding swirl marks and minor scratches. Major scratches etc can be covered in the insurance. For ceramic and glass coatings, the initial preparation of cleaning up the whole new car doesn't seem reasonable to me at this point of time and I believe the after care of coatings would be troublesome for me.

So keeping in view the white color of my car, which car wax/polish would you guys recommend? I'm planning to wax/polish my car once a month.

I have booked a Tucson AWD in white and yes its drive is comparatively on the harder side then Sportage

But it has many features which Sportage lacks. Wireless charger, welcome lights under rear mirrors and that cornering light in the headlamp which turns on when you turn the steering and so on.....I wish my Sportage had that light in the headlight. Highly effective in mountains and curvy roads

I still like the Sportage as it is, such a comfortable drive but i have only driven 1255kms so far
One question, have u noticed its fuel range drop quickly? or maybe im used to driving Civic X and Grande

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2022-04-25 02:07:54 +0500 #3957

Nopes. In my case, range stays pretty linear and directly linked with how u drive. Driven 12k

I'm hearing squeaks when I press brake pedals on a slope surface like garage ramp. Is it normal?

xuhaibkhan1 (Zohaib) 2022-04-29 01:45:44 +0500 #3960

That's not normal. Get it checked

Oblivion (Oblivion) 2022-05-02 14:35:59 +0500 #3961

Crossed 1330kms today and average in city with aircon has increased to 11kmpl with soft pedal

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2022-05-03 00:12:23 +0500 #3962

Is it only in reverse ?

hassan3344 (Hassan) 2022-05-03 04:25:07 +0500 #3963

Yes. Only on reverse, on a slope(my ramp). Is it normal?

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2022-05-03 06:54:47 +0500 #3964

Exactly this has happened to me. I'm going for prayers. I'll come back and tell you what happened. Please whatsapp me me on 03200555536

I was also much confused, I like Tucson's exterior and interior both and at one point I almost went for Tucson but due to unavailability of Tucson booking I booked Sportage AWD and Inshallah will be delivered after Eid and now I'm completely satisfied after reading a lot of comments and reviews. Almost everyone is praising Sportage's suspension and smooth ride which is uncompromisable.

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2022-05-03 16:21:28 +0500 #3966

Oh definitely yes. Tried and tested both in detail but for some very very unknown reason, Sportage is noticeably more comfy

alibintahir (Ali bin Tahir) 2022-05-05 12:12:06 +0500 #3967

In addition to this, the Sportage's infotainment system and its responsiveness is much better than the crappy floating screen in Tucson.

hassan3344 (Hassan) 2022-05-06 18:54:41 +0500 #3968

Is this possible to update it?

I'm trying to seek help from others regarding installation of Front cam with OEM head unit. Haven't heard anything positive though. Updating software might add the support for front cam.

Oblivion (Oblivion) 2022-05-06 21:48:38 +0500 #3969

Honestly i havent tried to update but will check if it can be done, i have the FWD version which doesnt have the front cam, i dont want to void the warranty by installing it

Assalamualaikum Brothers!

I am hearing alot about noise coming from sun roof and windshield cracks?

Are they true? How often does this issue occur?

and what are your overall comments about build quality?

Thanks in advance.

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2022-05-09 07:06:11 +0500 #3971

Even AWD doesn't come with front cam

ArslanNawaz (ArslanNawaz) 2022-05-09 09:37:23 +0500 #3972

Overall build quality ia pretty solid, I've taken my fwd on village roads.it has been very quite and pretty responsive.No squeaks no sound
